The American involvement in Iraq has rightfully been described as a
huge mess of epic proportions by the press on this side of the world.
"The Mesopotamia Mess: The British Invasion of Iraq in 1914"
is an examination of how complicated messes for liberating forces going
into Iraq is nothing new--and how the Americans have learned just about
nothing making the move into Iraq from their allied British
invader's history. Stating point by point every lesson that should
have been picked up by the Americans before diving into the mess of
Iraq, it's a somewhat saddening story of history repeating itself.
"The Mesopotamia Mess: The British Invasion of Iraq in 1914"
is highly recommended for anyone who desires a better understanding of
the present through the past, and for community library military
collections.
